Jacqboot has another great idea ...

Need to justify an ID card, but the usual bollocks isn't working? How about this then:

Foreign drivers will have to pay on-the-spot fines of up to £900 for flouting traffic laws under new legislation to be introduced next month.

If they do not have enough cash or a working credit card their vehicles will be clamped until they pay — and they will face an additional £80 release fee.

The law will also apply to British residents who cannot prove at the roadside that they have a valid address in Britain.

But I don't hear the "bloody immigrant" dogwhistle!

The fines will be described officially as “deposits” when introduced on April 1 because the money would be refunded if the driver went to court and was found not guilty. In practice, very few foreign drivers are likely to return to Britain to contest their cases.

Foreign drivers are rarely prosecuted because police cannot take action against them if they fail to respond to a summons. Instead, officers often merely give verbal warnings.

Three million foreign-registered vehicles enter Britain each year. Polish vehicles account for 36 per cent, French vehicles for 10 per cent and German vehicles for 9 per cent.

Ah! There it is!

And still you have the Labour Party banging on about the BNP being "racist". Dare I use the words "pot", "kettle" and, er, "black"?

Section 165A of the Road Traffic Act allows a Constable in uniform the power to seize uninsured motor vehicles and vehicles driven without a licence provided certain conditions are satisfied:

Essentially, if the driver fails toproduce the evidence required, AND the officer reasonably suspects that the motor vehicle is uninsured, or that the driver does not hold the correct classification of driving licence, the vehicle may be seized.

Beware. Many forces are actively encouraging their officers to seize when there's doubt, so don't give them the excuse.

A workmate tried to buy a catapult from a fishing tackle shop a couple of days ago and was asked to prove he was over 18.The man is 64 fukin years old.He left the shop without the item swearing never to return.
